Another thing I noticed, not sure if it's a bug or not. I understand that When you add a title to a product and save, it sets the alias automatically. This is troublesome in my case because it will not only set the alias on save, but if the product has children, it will reset the alias of all children at the same time. For someone who creates custom aliases this is a huge bother. Is there a way in next release to set alias if empty? instead of always setting alias?
Right now if I make a change to the parent of my child variants, all the aliases will be reset rendering any links or ads from other places useless
If I could append the the parent title to the front of the slug in the code below instead of appending the current date to the end, we could save our parent and the aliases for the children would be for example in my case, flue-cured-tobacco-16mg instead of something like this 16mg2012-03-19-23-29-15_
